I think all he needs is maybe an editor and some lighting sticks to up the production quality since that’s what trends in the KZfaq “essay” niche. Some of the best content and insights I’ve seen on this platform are from this channel, so I hope he can pick up some well deserved steam!

2nd on my recommended

@@user-ne1nd8sr8f I like the rawness of these videos. Just him talking to a camera, it takes away from the allure for me if he’d get this, somewhat’ big shot production. Neither do I think that should be the focus of his channel (who am I though lol). I believe the cream will always rise to the top and he seems to be enjoying what he is doing and getting quite a good reception from a nice community. Don’t think there is any need for much more than that, just my opinion though

@Jen Psaki I wasn’t but I am now

Really appreciating the discussion happening here. I've definitely thought about upping my production quality, but it would just not work for how I do the show. It is essential for me to have the show be super nimble, just me, an iPhone some notes and my thoughts. That is what leads me to doing three episodes a week and what keeps it from ever becoming a chore. It is just like an extra class that I teach, and I love teaching. I recognize that this means that I'll probably never make it "big," but I NEVER thought I'd get over 1,000 subscribers given my style. To me, I am big! :)

Is this just major coincidence maybe?

@@pjetrs It could be but it would be a massive stretch for me to believe that. It’s too specific, too weird and unexpected of an addition to be just a coincidence.

@@pjetrs it’s basically impossible for it to be a coincidence, Kanye put it in there for the meme which is pretty great since I also love dunkey

exactly, and listening parties are parties for a reason! i think he just has fun with it by changing track lists, adding & removing features, and playing mashups with other songs. doesn’t mean that all of this will end up on the finished album

@@blondedivy I think especially with that stem device that he’s releasing that allows ppl to change the songs around thinking about it now it’s interesting how he uses that for this album

He's dropping soon

No. Instead he's dropped experiences. Unique, creative experiences that nobody else is music giving us + we're still hearing the music & u can find recordings of the livetreams

Lmaooo this was literally said a day before the album dropped

The joys of not editing!😀

Thanks! I read everything, but don’t always respond. It is appreciated.

I agree man, I love the passion in the videos he has. It is kind of infectious haha

I agree

Thank you for explaining this I was so stuck on why Kanye (a changed man for God) would feature Manson (a Satanist with a messed up legal situation) but this put it in perspective thank you!

He alread expanded on said topic, with his 4th single in career titled "Jesus Walks". Fact is, i think he is better man than me, i would kick Manson's kidneys if rumours are true, but there is Ye, putting trust in God's judgement instead.

Thank you too

The enlightenment of the Black experience in America. The womb of the Black Woman who descended from slavery DNA still transfers that trauma to her children and then we enter the world already mentally ill.

I think the concept of jail and incarceration alludes to past sins more than anything. Part of Kanye felt a lot of guilt and responsibility for his mother’s death. At the same time, I think it also represents where he comes from and the circumstances of black people in America. That narrative is reflected a lot through the song Jesus Lord.

Good points

I respectfully disagree with basically all of your comment, though I do agree he is intelligent. I was around when he dropped in the mid 90s and everyone thought he was a joke who created his whole eDgYlOrD persona bc he was BIG THIRSTY for attention. Trust, literally no one was fooled by his attempt to be SuPeR sCaRy lol. His music is equivalent to his persona - all shock, little substance. If your music speaks for itself, you shouldn’t need to “shock” people to get your music attention by dressing like a teenager who only shops at hot topic. The music should itself create the buzz. I mean, Kanye got his first record deal bc he made a name for himself by producing some of hip-hop’s absolute classics. He established himself as a musician before he developed as a performance artist. And please, please take a minute to educate yourself on MM and the stories of not only the multiple women he has disgustingly abused, but also on the many, many stories that show what an absolutely disgusting “human” he has always been. Not to be rude, but you saying that it would be “sad” (for whom?) if the allegations are true seems like you are minimizing the serious physical, emotional, and psychological abuse and trauma he inflicted and see who he really is and always has been - an insecure man-baby who didn’t get enough attention as a kid. Maybe start with Evan Rachel woods account of their relationship. supporting known abusers is a really bad look.

No disrespect but this again americans confusing the world with the USA.

@@warnaoh Not sure if you're talking about me or Prof. Skye but if you are talking about me I'm not American...

Imo Kanye is extremely influential in fashion. Before he was even a rapper, he made bold stylistic choices that his peers wouldn't. Instead of wearing streetwear, Kanye would choose a polo or an LV backpack. He would wear Bape with Pharrell and high fashion suits. He definitely didn't dress like the rappers around him. And as his music influence grew so did his clothing. Whatever Kanye wore, the brands grew. Some examples would be making the Shutter Shades pop on Graduation, Margiela pop on Yeezus or Givenchy pop on Watch The Throne. Everyone was tuning into what he wore and it was probably the best publicity a brand can ever get. Kanye also had a hand in a lot of fashion victories that aren't credited. It's hard to sum them all up in the comments. But eventually Kanye was tired or being limited by brands on what he can or can't do. And he was also tired of brands making money off his creativity without any reward. So he started his own fashion line. But Kanye was snubbed by the high fashion industry for years. They rejected him and hated on his first runway. No one showed up to Yeezy season one and the media just dragged him. But through a series of hardworking that I won't go into detail, he build an infrastructure that allow him to soar. He owns 100% of Yeezy and the sales are booming. His TLOP merch forever changed how mercy is viewed or sold. His Yeezy designs are unique and futuristic. And ninfluenceperspectiveworthAdidascollaboratorsdidn'thim

@@kelvinleung6746 No one said he wasnt one of the most influential. But the most ? You really have to be one of his stan or american to say that. I didnt know 90% of what you wrote and everyone around me I know from France, Spain or Morocco is the same. We know him for his music, the "slave"choice, being married to a Kardashian and that's it (not saying we are right or that's all he is, but it is what it is).

@@warnaoh a lot of people do know of his other endeavors not just the music

I somehow missed it.

@@professorskye no problem dude you are one of the coolest professors I’ve ever seen keep up the good work

I truly agree with this sentiment.

he did. he's in the background of Jail
